★★☆☆☆ = Eh, fine
Modern pop rap
Gospel rap
I like tracks and parts but overall too churchy for me. Production is good and Chance has a good verse on one track but not enough.

⭐⭐
D∆WN – Infrared
Post-Blackheart I have high expectations for any Dawn Richard release but they aren’t met here; especially surprising given this is produced by Kingdom whose production is too bloated for her style. Gone is Dawn’s clever lyricism from Blackheart which was at times abstract, metaphorical and personal. Infrared is thematically promising but never really goes anywhere.
